United Reformed And Methodist Church

The United Reformed and Methodist Church, built in 1859, was designed by architects Poulton and Woodman from Reading. The church is constructed of hammer dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a pitched roof. It has a nave and two aisles, with a "W" front that is accentuated by buttresses with setbacks, topped by octagonal spirelets and steep gablets on either side. The gable end is coped and crow-stepped at the top, finished with a tall finial.

The front includes large grouped lancets with five lights, where the center three lights are grouped under one arch and separated from the others by colonnettes, featuring a reticulated tracery hood mould. The gable end has a pointed arch with Geometrical tracery. Each aisle has a porch with a very steep roof, coped gable ends, and finials, along with diagonally planked double doors that have ornamental iron hinges, set in cusped pointed arches with hood moulds. Above each porch are star-shaped windows. The side elevations are adorned with six lancets featuring shaped arches, separated by buttresses.

Inside, the church boasts an open hammerbeam timber roof supported by foliate corbels. There are galleries around three sides, held up by twisted iron columns. The rib-vaulted apse is accessed through an arch on shafts with elaborate foliate capitals, with the phrase "O Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness" painted around the extrados. The apse also houses a gabled and crocketed organ, along with a panelled pulpit. Notably, there is an early 17th-century polygonal pulpit with two tiers of arcading, originally from the church at Charmouth. This pulpit is historically significant as it was used by the Vicar of Charmouth, who is John Wesley's great-grandfather, while Charles II awaited a ship for exile in 1651.

The church is part of a group with Nos 8 to 36 (even).
